Call special session of Haryana Assembly: Cong

New Delhi/Chandigarh, Jan 25 : Congress is mulling all options to dislodge the Haryana government led by Manohar Lal Khattar, which is surviving on the support of the JJP and Independents in the assembly.
The farmers agitation has made the government weak as many Independents and some MLAs of the Jannayak Janta Party JJP led by Dushyant Chautala, who is also the Deputy Chief Ministerhave expressed their unhappiness with the state of affairs under Khattar.
Vivek Bansal, AICC in-Charge of Haryana told IANS: “Our Congress legislative party leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda has already demanded for the special session of the assembly but the government is not convening the session. Once the Assembly begins our leader will press for no confidence motion.” Congress is eyeing a win-win situation — if JJP and Independents pull out of the government and support farmers the government will fall and in case the government survives then the Congress can declare that JJP and others are not with farmers and score brownie points.
The Congress had earlier demanded that Khattar resign in the wake of farmers agitation as police was trying to suppress the stir.
Congress’ state chief Kumari Selja had said on January 11: “The Chief Minister should resign as he has lost the confidence of the people, especially farmers.”
